ure in the Convention
There are more than a thousand . will be selected. The selection of
delegates in Providence this week at-1 this canal means muoh tn hi
tending tne Leeper Waterway con-
vention. In th?s delegation Eastern
North Carolina and Elizabeth City
is liberally represented in such a
nr.'-finer that the interests of this sec-f

Xouh Carolina delegation mobilized
in Norfolk and joined the Virginia del

PrMidence.
Congressman John H. Small head
?d !he North Carolina delegation and
was the life of the party while eo

the popularity or $he two routes un
der consideration by the army engi
neers, the Dismal Swamp Canal and
Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal.lt
was not stated which of the canals
won in the discussion.
Congressman Small is Sported as
being in favor of aa impartial hear
ing in Norfolk on the 6th, 7th and
8th of September and then leave it
to the investigating board. On the
face of this it looks fair enough and
will probably give entire satisfaction
to the people of this section, but at
the same time the people of this across the six links which seperate
sedon are greatly exercised over the . thes island sounds anj bays- along
selection of the route and devoutly ( the seaboard and make the intercoast
norc that the Dismal Swamp Canal al waterway a reality.
THE FAIR WILL BE
THE BIGGEST ONE YET
We publish this week another in-,
stallment of the premium lish for
the Agricultural Fair to be held here
this fall. The entire list would have
been published before now Sf our
plant had not been put out of com
mission practically by the recent fire
We will continue to publish the list
in installments each week and it will
be finished in a few weeks.
The people of this section may rest
assured that there is going to be a
fair here this fall and a big one too.
Such a fair as the people have never
had an opportunity to visit here.
T!i3 managements competing th
arrangements as fast as poss hie and
the country people are making pre
paid iions to' attend the fir and to
'e exhibitors at the fair.
We expect to have one of the big
gest crowd here this fall that we have
ever had. We expect to have one of
the biggest exhibits here Chat we
have ever had and we expect to have
the biggest fair that we have ever
had. v
The people who miss the fair this

The Norfolk and Southern railroad
ls a Sreat factor in the development
of tnis sectin but the people are
not n a hurry to close up all other
routes for transportation and placa
themselves completely in the hands
of this or any other railroad. The rail
road company may wish to
see dog fenWs growing in the bot

the people are anxious that the canal
be kept open for navigation.
The Deeper Waterway convention

Congressman Small then delivered
the response.
Congressman Small dwelt on .the
great products and natural resources
of the South and added:

NO BETTER T
ELIZ. CITY
No better town exists in the world
than our own Elizabeth City.Health
fulness is Igood, the death rate low
the natural advantages are unsurpas
sed. A great and festile country
surrounds this city. Men can tickle
the. soli and it laughs into great and
plemions harvests of all good things
to eat. The climate is perfect, there
are no months in the year so ser
vere that idleness is an inforced occu
pation. A beautiful river washes the
feet of oar streets; just a- little dis
tance below us is the interseetion
of the worlds greatest sounds Ifieir
waters reach north, south east and
west and are alive with the best
fish oysters and clams lay there sleep
ing awaiting the diligent hand of
man. Geese and ducks in droves thst
darken the sun invite our people to
feed upon the delicious dishes of
wealth. All that we need to have a
city beautiful great strong and pro
gressive is union of effort Let the
sunshine of fraternity drive away the
dark clouds of malice let love for
horns and your ow-n city clear away
the mind of envoy that has been slush
ing in the streets and stirred by com
mon degredation. Then our working
and business men will see the smile
of prosperity "'play over the counten
ance of your town. Peace will then
sing a song in harmony with the
eternal principle of progress and
life there will be no discordant notes
of lieing slender and descention and
Elizabeth CHy will laugh in joy with
herchldren of mirth. ' .

KNOCKED DOWN AND
ROBBED BY
A bold highway robbery was com
mtted in this city last Saturday night
by a negro who successfully eluded
the officers and made good his es
cape. Miss ftynal Wadstein. a saleslady
of Lavensteins 3Martment store was
enroute toiler home on Cedar Street
when she was accosted by a big,
burly negro who attempted to snatch
her purse. The young lady fought the
negro, off with her umbrella until he
grabbed her and threw her down.
She screamed for help and soon a
number of people were on the
scene.
"ON TO NORFOLK
ONE HUNDRED STRONG"
On to Norfolk on the Sth is the
watch word that i being passedalong
in Elizabeth City.
Ar you going to Norfolk to at
tend the hearing? is th-3 question
that is asked and a very great num
ber of the citizens of the town ans
wer in the affirmative.
There is something at stake. The
interests of this section are being
threatened and the people are arous
ed. In Norfolk next week the selec
tion of the canal for a part of the
Inland Waterway will be made as it
is generally understood that the gov
ernment will be direct by the de
cision of the board apponted to hear
the demand of this section. If the
Dismal Swamp Oanal is seleohed.fhen
it results to the advantage of Eliza
beth City and this section but if some
other route is selected then Elizabeth
City loses in the deal by having the
value of its property to depreciate.
ONE HUNDRED MEN TO GO TO
NORFOLK IN THE SPECIAL CA.R

aim of president Lamb of the Cham
ber of Commerce and he will come
pretty near getting the Tiundred too.

NORFOLK PREPARING FOR
NORTH CAROLINA VETERANS
The following article from the
Ledger Dispatch will be of speaial in
terest to the Veterans of this sec
tion. This article describes the prep
arations thajfare now going on. in
Norfolk preparatory for the reception
and entertainment of the veterans
when they gather there in reunion.
The parade committee of theBoard
or Trade of which Captain J. W.Mc
Carrjck is chairman met yesterday
and mapped out the line of march
for the Confederate veterans ofNorth
Carolina when they hold their reun
ion here on September 6th and 7th.
With the militia and the sailors and
marines from the navy yard at Ports
mouth the line will form on the west
end of City flail aveaue and Boush
street to Freemason to Bofecourte to
street to Freemason to Botetourte to
York to Boush to Bute to Granby and
down Granby passing the reviewing
stand at the Virginia Club. When the
veterans reach the Confederate monu
ment at Commercial Place and Main
street they will disband but "the oth
er troops will continue to Chapel St.
to be disbanded.
Governor Mann was today invited
to come to Norfolk on September St
and view the gray clad warriors of
the Old North State as they pass in
front of the Virginia Clubs reviewing
stand. It is believed that he will ac
cept and will be on the portico with
Gen. Jullian S. Carr grand comman
der of the Grand Camp of North Car
olina and other distinguished Confed
erates.
The contract for furnishing meals
for the veterans who will eat in the
big tent to be ' erected at Ine west
end of Plume street has been award
od to W. J. O'Keefe who conducts
the pavillion at Virginia Beaich He
has guaranteed to take caxV of at
least 500 at one sitting.
The ways and means committee has
beeu . doing good workv in collecting
t;?e subscriptions made for the enter-
t8inment of th veterans expect to
raise the necessary amount of $3,000
by the end of the week
The decorations commit. e 3 is at
work in earnest and it is, certain that

ing up increased majorities for their
candidates. I expect to see the Dem
ocratic vote in the State increased
ten thousand over that polled in the
Taf election. The Republicans have
done a lot of talking but they have
more lian they can shoulder in this
contest. The people of North Caro
lina are not prepared to send Marion
Butler fo the senate and that would
be the .result should the State be
turned over to the crowd that con
trolled the recent Greensboro con
vention. While Morehead is the State
chairman, Butler is the guiding gen
ius of, the party and he would deserve
election to the senate should such a
thing as victory be possible for the
Republicans. "
The Democracy in the State is in
fine shape. Locally there have been
differences but these will adjust
themselves. North Carlinians are de
termined to keep pace with the bal
ance of the nation in rolling up Dem
ocratic majorities. They believe fci
the cry, Turn on the light.
What of Theodore Roosevelt? was
asked Senator Overman. Looks very
much like the former President is a
candidate for the nomination in 1912
ma the xyfiyM y fate that is
the inreWldiliMtevrif
when the veterans meet here. Many
have already expressed a wiHingneas
to decorate their buildings with bunt
ing and it is believed that others will
readily follow. The Virginia Club will
be 3 mass of colored banting and A
is almost certain that the entire down
town district will be looked out for.
A dispatch from Raleigh says that
Major B. P. Dixon, State auditor has
accepted the invitation of General
Julian S . Carr to deliver the response
to the addresses of welcome on the
occasion of the annual reunion of
the North Carolina Division United
Confederate Veterans at Norfolk,Sept.

General Carr is commander of the
North Carolina division and is direct
ing the preparations for the reunion.
Major Dixon is a Confederate and
Spanish American War veteran is
chairman of the State Board of Coif
federate. Pensions and Secretary and
